Lukka decided to take a gamble. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Phil made a point of emphasizing that only at noon on the winter solstice would the device he designed and that crystal be effective.

Autumn is now coming to an end by date, and if you look at the temperature, it's no different from the usual harsh winter. In any case, Lukka didn't have time to try anything else.

However, gambling is gambling, and the preparation must be done carefully.

Luca asked Leon for a long time and basically learned about the situation in the Endless Sea, especially near the Lens Trench.

According to Leon, the wind and waves near the Lens Trench are generally not large, but the direction of the wind is difficult to grasp. The device that Phil had drawn had to be set up in three directions at the same time, with a distance of more than fifty meters from each other, with the crystal in the center.

In this way, it is necessary to lower the dinghy from the Silent Death, and everyone will go their separate ways.

Considering the danger he might encounter, Lukka decided to make a few emergency boosts.

This time, instead of using gemstones, he found some glass imitations that looked like gems and divided them into two parts. One part is attached to the effect of diamond skin, and the other part is put on bubbles.

Unlike previous opal rings, this time Lukka was inspired by Thea's lightning crystals, the magic on these fake gems is not long-lasting, and can only be used once, and the method is as simple as falling to the ground - glass is also more likely to break than real gemstones.

In this way, even if there is any accident when everyone acts separately, whether they are attacked or fall into the sea, they can basically protect themselves with these two spells.

Moreover, by making these things in advance, Lukka can take care of his mana pool on the way to the Lens Trench, and when the time comes, he will do his best to ensure the integrity of the crystal with the most abundant strength.

The effect of fake gems is very good, and it is also very easy to carry and use, Phil used a diamond skin as soon as he got it, and poked his finger with the tip of scissors to have fun. Soon, he reached for the fake gem with the bubble spell again.

Lukka quickly put everything away, and at this rate, the Silent Reaper hadn't even left the port, and the dozens of fake gems he had spent a day making would be squandered.

He returned to the captain's room with his things, picked up a box on the table, put it in, and found a small silver lock, which was firmly locked, and then relieved.

Then he looked up and saw Thea standing in the doorway staring at him.

Lukka quickly hid the box behind him.

"Nervous what, really. Thea gave him a blank look, "I can tell the difference between glass and gems, so keep the little thing in your hand." ”

"This is no ordinary glass!" Luca asserted his work.

"What's the matter, which of your spells will work on me?"

"And what are you doing here?" asked Luca.

"I'm here to tell you that the box you have in your hand," Thea frowned as she looked at Luca, who had stuffed the box into the drawer, "it was sent by Captain Marlowe, saying that this thing should have been kept by the lord all along." ”

"Is there anything special about this thing?" Lukka stopped, took the box in front of him and looked at it carefully.

Now he recognized it, wasn't this the box that Daniel fished out of the sea during the endurance test?

"I remember this thing had a name, what's it called?" he muttered to himself.

"Box of Silence!" said Shut up and fly down from the chandelier.

"yes, that's it, what's the use?" Lukka had no clue.

Shut up and shook his head: "The pirates here don't seem to know what to do, it seems to be just a symbol." ”

Also, if it's really valuable, the Senate won't just throw it into the sea for everyone to find. Lukka thought, but this size would be perfect for a magic gem.

Before leaving, Lukka made another trip to the ship where Kate worked.

Looking at the pile of pending affairs, he had to admit that maybe it was not too difficult for him to make a judgment based on the overall situation, but if he was to really get these tedious but important specific things, he would probably have to run back to sea in less than three days.

Of course, Kate didn't do it all herself, not only did she recruit a few literate pirates to take charge of all kinds of chores, but she also threw a large part of the non-classified things to Gray, anyway, the spy herself asked for the position of port secretary.

"Captain, what's the matter?" said Kate as Luca entered.

"There is indeed something. "How are the repairs to the ship and the mast I brought back the other day?"

Kate replied, "The carpenter at the dockyard said it would be done in three or five days." ”

"Well, then I won't wait. When it is finished, give it to Haken for me, and let him gather the sailors, and leave some things to him. You also take a look first. As he spoke, Lukka pulled out an envelope, which was not sealed.

Kate pulled out the letter and read it and said, "Is this to hand over the matter of harassing the Brohn Empire to him?"

"That's right, the alliance will definitely suffer some losses in the early stages of the war, so don't worry about them for the time being. Now it's just a matter of limiting the Empire's record and not letting them win too much, this butcher has a knack for dealing with Imperial warships. Lukka nodded.

"Okay. Shall I seal it?" asked Kate, and seeing Luca agree, she began to melt the wax used to seal her mouth.

"By the way, don't forget to ask Haken for the boat. Also, it's best not to tell Gray about this. Lukka added before leaving, Haken's fat man is quite easy to fool, and if he is deceived by Gray into fighting with the Empire, even if he does not consider his own safety, it is very likely to affect the whole plan.

An hour later, the Silent Death set sail for the harbor.

This voyage should be the furthest Luca has traveled since coming to the Sunset Islands.

During the war, many of the islands were shut down from supplying third parties, namely pirates, and Lukka did not intend to cause panic in the ports of the June Alliance to the west, so he filled the Silent Reaper's cargo hold on Tata Island.

This time it's not about going out to rob, and you don't have to think about the goods.

On board, in addition to the crew that had been following Luca, was added Leon, the only one who had ever set foot in the Endless Sea, and who himself was interested in the journey.

The Peregrine Falcon is still tethered to the Silent Death, and the killer whale skin shrimp has been following in the sea.

It wasn't all smooth sailing at sea, and nearly a month had passed by the time Lukka reached the edge of the standard chart, where the Sunset Islands and the Endless Sea separated.

On December 13, 1486, the Silent Death entered the Endless Sea.
